2022 2500RL slide broken before first use... July 6, 2022

The Schwintek is obvious--there's the tracks on the side of the slide one near the top and one near the bottom, both sides. A thru-frame will have tracks underneath the slide. Totally different system.

If you'd like to dig into more detail, go to https://support.lci1.com/slide-outs/

The "In-Wall Slide-Out" is what we commonly call the Schwintek. The Through Frame Selections will have Electric Slide System options. (No difference in operation on the size, so choose either the 2x2 or 2x3 option).

Thanks. I'm familiar with the Hydraulic slide as that was on my Cougar... didn't know they were synonymous with thru-frame. Am 99.9% sure this new rig has the SchwinTex slides as I don't recall seeing the hydraulic slide components.

I think that GD only changed to the thru frame slide on the larger heavier slide outs. I think that the one in the 2500RL, containing only the couch and refer, could still be the Schwintek style.

mepgray -- I don't know for sure that the 2500RL has changed.

Sorry, Joseph, not sure what you mean by IMG 6695. Not sure about identifying a slide type by how the skirting is installed--haven't heard that one before.

When you go to the web page of the selling dealer there are multiple images. On my computer the images have names.

As to identifying I did not know if the in wall slide was full height taking the skirting with it, or if it was just above the trim line that moved.

Looking at the ad for a 2020 model, I can now see that the skirting is split and moves with the slide. https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/202...0RL-5024748296 Did not think to look at older model ads earlier.

We bought our 2022 2500RL Feb 2022 and had the slide assembly replaced in Sept22. It took 6 weeks to complete the repair. In our case, the plastic spur gears were chewed up and replaced with steel spur gears. We’ll see if this fixed the problem when we use it agin in the spring. If not, then the extended warranty we bought recently will come in handy.

I just purchased a 2023 2500rl and can confirm it has the thru frame slide out mechanism. No Schwintek.
